Hey, That’s My Fish! turns a field of fish-covered hexes into a brisk game of spatial brinkmanship. Place penguins on one-fish tiles, then move one in a straight line as far as open ice allows, collecting the tile it leaves behind. Every move therefore scores fish and permanently reshapes the map. Gaps grow, routes close, and isolated penguins eventually leave the floe with their final tile. With no hidden information and almost no downtime, the puzzle is immediate: take a rich tile now, or preserve the corridor that keeps an entire section of ice within reach?
